New Chex Mix Bars combine crunchy Chex pieces, pretzels and peanuts with chewy and indulgent ingredients like caramel and chocolate. And if that’s not enough, they have less than 150 calories per bar and provide at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving (48 grams recommended daily)!

I have loved Chex Mix for a long time. I was super excited to try the new sweeter mixes and I love them just as much as the older varieties!

Hi there,The best present I ever received was a ring from my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time I received it). I'm so happy to wear it again as I couldn't each time I was pregnant,lol. And of course all the handmade cards from my kids!firstrosegrrl@yahoo.com

The best present I have ever received was my engagement ring from my husband. We have been married for 23 years, but instead of an engagement ring 23 yrs ago, we made a down payment on our house. So the surprise of getting an engagement ring all these years later was really a surprise. But the best part is that I had no idea my husband was planning to do this. And the ring is just breathtaking!

The best present I ever received was a gigerbread house. I love to see as many as I can that are on display at various stores during the holiday season. I do not have the time or talent to make one, so when I received that present I was thrilled. It was so beautiful - fresh from a bakery. I tried to save it for the following year, but it fell in.

The best present is having my father with us this year, he is recovering from a very scary medical issue which we werent sure he would pull thru, we are so happy that he will be with us for christmas and we hope for many more to come, having family together for christmas is the best present in my opinion, thanks for the great giveaway, and merry christmas to everyone

My husband had to attend a conference in Dundee, Scotland. He found out at the last minute and called to tell me he wanted to take me along. My mother said "Go! I will take care of the children." So I went on just two days notice. We were there on my birthday. At lunch my husband took out a little jewelry box with the most perfect pair of little earrings I've ever seen. They are still my favorite earrings. (Sapphire and diamond)

I was just starting college and my boyfriend and I were broke. I didn't expect much for Christmas. He told me to close my eyes and he handed me a gift. I opened my eyes to see the most adorable, fluffy Lhasa Apso puppy. She was my best buddy and the best Christmas gift ever! Thanks for the contest!

Best present I ever received was to wake up on Christmas morning to two tickets to see Les Miserables at the theatre. The show was on Christmas night, and it was beautiful, being in the city watching the snowfall and the bright lights just made the night that more memorable. It was a gift I'll never forget.

My Christmas as a child was not like a regular family type Christmas. Starting at the age of 7I grew up in a school in TennesseeTPS for short. In 2006 my husband gave me the most wonderful gift I could ever image. He gave me a Christmas past. Every gift that I got from him that year starting with the age of 7-16 was a gift that a girl would have wanted back then. Each gift had my age on it and my maiden name. It was a wonderful and emotional Christmas. Thank you

The best present I can remember was when I was around 10 years old and my parents bought me Nintendo! This was back in the 80s so its when it first came out. I love Super Mario!! Hours and hours of fun!

i ride a large tricycle or 3 wheeler an i do not drive nor do i live in a state known for its mild weather an i ride between 700 an 2300 miles a year. was having to have my friend work on my used trike every 2 weeks an i kept breaking frames on it and he surprised me with a new one that he fixed up just for me.oh he still had to work on it just not as often

The best present I've ever recieved was my oldest daughters life. She has CF and in 2004 she had a double lung transplant just before Christmas. She was released from the hospital 12/24 & it was fantastic.

When I was four, I asked Santa for a stove, "stink" and a "fridgerator". Well, boy, did he deliver. On Christmas Day, under the tree, was a just perfect kid size stove, sink and fridge along with a full set of pots and pans and even some play food that went in the fridge and cabinets. I remember having THE BEST TIME for years with that set.

When I was 10 I wanted a "GOOD" (meaning adult) camera -- I believe it cost over $300 at the time, but I'd been taking artsy pictures for years on an instanmatic. Well, immagine my surprise when I actually got the camera for Christmas! Who gives a 10 year old a $300 camera with lenses, etc? I used it through college as that was before digital photography was even in vogue. I remember a field trip to LOOK AT a digital camera when we were in college. It was unbelievable to us. LOL!

A friend had a wife who had a stroke. I'd dogsit when he went to visit her in the hospital and then the rehab center. That Christmas he gave me a color printer - it was so unexpected and I had really wanted one!!

Card from my oldest son. He ws going off to his 3rd tour in Iraq. He was going through a divorce. The whole family flew out to see him off. He wrote a card about us as parents to him as how we've always been there for him.

My best present ever was my digital camera that I'm getting this Christmas. My mom had me pick out a digital camera for my sister-in-law but I know it's really for me. The gift under the tree for my sister-in-law is a different size but the gift for me is the same size. I can't wait to open it!

The best gift I ever received was after my uncle died. His death opened my eyes into realizing that I need to cherish every moment in life, and not to take anything or anyone for granted. You never know when your life will be gone, or even those around you.

Don't laugh, but the best and biggest surprise gift I ever got came from a co-worker... it was a gift certificate for a belly button ring. I never laughed so hard, it was the last thing I would have guessed!!pauline15_01 at hotmail dot com

Best present I ever received was imprints of my daughters hands. My husband surprised me with this shortly after her birth and as she just turned 18 this month I cherish it more and more. I look at those tiny hands, the creases and I just melt. She was only 19 days old on her first Christmas, I took off her velvet red dress and bloomers with her tights still in them. I have never laundered them, they are still as they were that day, 18 years ago tucked away in a box (they were only on for a short time, not dirty, that would have been gross, lol). As my children age I hold onto those momentos, like her hand prints and just smile and hope I have done a great job..or at least kept them alive this long to be proud.

Happy Holidays to you and yours Sandra, thank you for the chance to win this nice prize.

This year my birthday almost sucked! No one remembered so no one bought me anything! I was so angry! I refused to mention it, so here I was at my MOTHER'S house wallowing in self pity when my nephew comes home from school runs up to me and hands me a bag of hot cheetos (my favorite snack) and says "happy birthday"! I was so happy! And I got even happier when he said "I know you like these so I bought them for you". That was the best present ever! I've never felt so good at getting a gift before...I won't be forgetting his birthday!

Christina - xristya@rock.com - My then-boyfriend gave me 21 gifts for my 21st birthday! Every single one was very well-thought-out and something I loved - books, clothes, chocolate, etc. - and I've never forgotten that day!

One of my best presents ever received was a birthday present I got this year from my teenage daughter. It was a collage of all my children and was decorated beautifully. It's one of my favorites because she took a lot of time and effort in making it.-Terrapartymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com

I've been trying to decide what the best present I ever gotten was.It got me thinking I don't really have one every present is the best because it means someone cared enough about you to get something for you.

the best christmas present i ever received was today I found out I am gonna be a grandma for the first time it is a christmas miracle because my DD was told that because of PCOS the chances for her to get pregnant was less than 3%

The best present I ever received was a glass leopard my daughter gave me. I had one just like it that my grandmother had given me. That one was broken by accident & I was so sad, so you can imagine how happy I was when my daughter found one just like it (even in better condition than the original one) and gave it to me for Christmas!

Last Christmas, I received a diamond solitaire from my husband. When we were married years ago, we could only afford a simple gold wedding band. The new ring is beautiful, but not as beautiful as my marriage. I am blessed.

My husband always thought that gifts should be a surprise, so he would buy me anything except what I asked for. Drove me crazy. One year we had very little money and I begged him for a new purse and a pillow. And he got them! I was so happy - because it was what I wanted and for once he actually listened to me.

My best present was a sterling silver watch with turqoise in-lay that DH got for me. It was a complete surprise as we had bought a new pick-up for cash and had decided that would be our Christmas present.

The best present I ever got was an engagement ring from the love of my life, even though I received it by way of a friend a month after my beloved passed away from bile duct cancer. I will forever treasure it.

The best present I ever recieved was a surprise camping trip for two. It wasn't anything material-- it was the best gift because my boyfriend had planned it and packed up everything for the trip and then, when I got off work, he got me in the car and told me where we were going. It was just so sweet and thoughtful! amy_gemini@hotmail.com

The best present I ever received was a Christmas card from my mother. She passed away before she had a chance to send it, but when I sorted her belongings, I found it, already filled out and with a stamp on it, waiting to go into the mailbox.

The most memorable present was a violin case my mother bought me to hold my father's violin the Christmas after he passed away. I had been taking lessons for a while and this was a way of joining old and new experiences.
